Predators Return to Winning Ways, Game Round-Up, and Friday Findings

We are starting to see more of the Predators type play that was expected at the start of the season. The Preds have played solid games in three of the last four outings and actually played well in all but about 15 minutes of Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Montreal was looking at last nights contest as a trap game and claimed that they played with little emotion against the Preds. It actually looked like they skated pretty hard but were stymied by the Predators. The Habs top line finished a combined -8 so I'm sure they were a bit bruised emotionally.

One real key, was the Preds great effort in clearing rebounds away from Pekka cutting out many of the second and third chances other teams have been getting after Pekka had gotten out of position.

Another point to be made is that the Habs are really missing Anderi Markov and have not adjusted to his absence which will be necessary for long term success.

It will be interesting to see what David Legwand's "lower body" injury actually entails. Barry Trotz was quoted as saying that it was "nothing major" but it seems like we have heard that before.

The Preds will practice in Montreal this morning and then head to Raleigh this afternoon where they will relax this evening while the Hurricanes are in Pittsburgh playing the Pens.

Game time on Saturday is 6 p.m. Central and there are no broadcast feeds available anywhere. A group of sixty folks are heading to Raleigh in the morning at 4 a.m. under the direction of Paul McCann and his wife Denise. We are fortunate to be among those going. We hope to be able to experience the famous Carolina tailgate experience first hand and get some video of all the festivities.

Colin Campbell finally made a public response to recent revelations about pact comments that were exposed by Tyler Dellow at Mc79 Hockey. So what is Dellow's background? Here is a piece from Mass Live that says he's just a regular guy.

A brilliant twilight launch of a Delta IV rocket is set for 6:06 Eastern tonight at Cape Canaveral. This is the largest liquid fueled rocket in the US today and should be a brilliant spectacle for those in Central Florida and along the Space Coast. Update from @InsideKSC: SCRUB: Tonight's launch of a Delta IV-Heavy with NRO payload from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station has been called off. New launch date TBD..

Also in Cocoa Beach, a 9 1/2 foot statute honoring 10 time world champion Kelly Slater was unveiled Wednesday on "Kelly Slater Day." The monument sits in the traffic triangle at the A1A split a couple of blocks from where Slater learned to surf as a child. (Our beachfront timeshare is about a block from the statute and is available for a cheap price in early March if anyone is looking for a a new years getaway.)
